We are the same team this year as we were last year and have been since Stauskas left. We haven't had anyone who can get a good look when we absolutely need it. Caris could but was never healthy enough. Its why we go so long without buckets and shoot 25% in halves.

1. Louisville2. Ohio State3. Alabama4. Clemson5. MichiganThe discussion that our D is shaky or bad is dumb. We are down an All-American corner and two starters on the d-line. Speight wasn't great yesterday, but made plays when he needed to and didn't turn it over save the blitz, not to mention what can only be called bizarre play calling to open the game. We are gonna steam roll the B1G until Columbus.

Access to local events if you aren't in Ann Arbor is nice. You also have access to a lot of discounted items. You can usually find tickets through the club as well without being gouged. Networking with other alumni never hurts either.

I think the only likely loss in the group is Maryland. While Purdue is a terrible matchup and Iowa is very good, we didn't play well in either game and were in both until late. I think all of our games against OSU, IU, MSU Iowa, and Purdue are toss ups. With the remaining games - Maryland as games we are the better team

If he is as explosive as everyone says he is and he can add 20-25 pounds before the season, why wouldn't he play as a freshman? I have seen UM guys gain that weight in an offseason before, Clarence Thompson gained 20 lbs in three months when he was RB at UM. Just curious. If he can play, why wouldn't he see the field this year?

Well, not sure what you have been reading but instead of going somewhere free, he came to UM on his own dime. That coupled with former statements and his Momma, they love UM, not like it. He may ultimately end up somewhere else, but we are the clear leader today.
